"Solar arrays open" is listed as occurring at 00:06:33 ERT (UTC). Does anyone remember when confirmation that this worked is due?

Completely flat only landing site but still don't know how are they arounds!!!
Wait for few minutes for a possible transmission of pictures. The solar panels will deploy a little after the touchdown. This pause allows the dust kicked up during the landing to settle and not collect on the arrays. |

What a thing it was to share this with you all. Edited : a big thanks to administrators an a thought for Emily having her server down. I hope you enjoyed the landing anyway -------------------- |
